THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2002 The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday heard oral arguments in a case to determine whether a casino owned by the Tigua Tribe of Texas can remain open. The state of Texas has been trying to shut down Speaking Rock Casino, located in El Paso, for years. Victory seemed at hand when a federal judge ordered it shut down last November. The tribe appealed and the appeals court agreed to let the casino stay open pending a decision. The tribe contend that the existence of a state lottery and other forms of gambling authorize its casino. Get the Story:
